He highlighted in particular the team's group stage 64–119 loss to Team England as a competitive performance.[6]
Team Ireland named its team training squad of 30 skaters in November 2016, following try-outs.[7] Head Coach is Karl Case (Lt Damn) from Manchester Roller Derby and Team Ireland Men's Roller Derby, and assistant coach is Jeff Roche from Limerick Roller Derby and Team Ireland Men's Roller Derby Team Manager is Mary Bowe (Bowe T-Vicious) from Waterford City Viqueens.
